lThe Schedule referred to 'in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe same.

i To alt whom 'it may concern:

Be it knowntliat I, CHARLES H. WEIGLE, of York,in the county of York andState of Pennsylvani-a, have invented a new and useful Improvement inRemovable Handles for Joiners Plows and Arni- Fillisters; and I dohereby declare that the following is a" full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to makeand use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying,r drawingsforming part of this speciiication, in which- Figure 1 represents a side.view oi my invention, partly-in section.

Figure 2 is a horizont-:ll sect-ion of the same, taken in the line a:fc, tig. 1. v

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention relates to a new and useful mode of I applying handles tojoiners plows and arm-fillisters,

whereby said implements may be used with a handle,

and with far greater facility than hitherto, the handle being readilydetached when the tool is not required rtor use, and is to be vstowedaway.

The invention consists in having a dovet-al installsocket securedj inthe rear of the stock'of the tool, and having the front edge of thehandle provided with a dovetail metallic nib to fit into t-he socket, ashereiuafter fully shown and described, whereby the desired end isattained.

`goiners plane, and

lizing any more room than usual.

B isla metallic dovetail socket,'w liic h is let in thev rearrend oi thestock, and secured in position by secured to its front side, said ribhaving a dovetail at its front part to fit into the socket B.

By this means the handle may bev readily fitted. to-V therplow, and alsoreadily detached therefrom. 1

One handle will answer for a number of different tools, if they-areallprovided with a socket, B; and, when a plow is not in use, the, handlemay be detached, and the former put away without monopo- I am aware thata patentl was issued to W. vS. Loughbrongh," April 4, 1854, having a.similar object in view, and I therefore disclaim as any' part of myinvention all features of construction found therein.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to'secure by Letters Patent- I The metalduvet-ail socket B, secured byscrews a in a recess in the rear end ofthe wooden stock A of the plane, and adapted to receive the rib D on thefront edge of the handle C, all as shown and described.
